Days 131-132 May 30-31

 Spent the 30th with more family   It was Memorial Day and we saw a marine who served in Vietnam and came out in his dingy in the water and laid 33 long stemmed carnations in the water a few yards apart.  He then saluted and drove back to the marina.  We had the chills and will remember that forever.  We found out he does it every year for the 33 comrades he lost in the war.  We left this morning for Cape May.  We went to the famous Lobster house around here which was really good.  Heading to Manasquan tomorrow.  60 miles

Day 126 May 25

 We had such a fun day!  We took our dingy out and watched the blue angels do their air show over us.  It was awesome. There were hundreds of boats out in the Chesapeake to watch.  We then walked around the area around the naval academy and went to the oldest bar in Maryland and third oldest in the country. 

Bar we liked

I tried to post videos of the air show but it’s not working

 We stayed in Oxford last night instead of St.Michaels.(my mistake) The marina was having a cookout,so that was fun meeting other people.  It was a really hot day so I enjoyed the pool.  As most of you know,when it’s hot I have to be in water!  We arrived in St Michaels today.  Went swimming and listened to a band at the bar behind us  Beautiful night   Staying here tomorrow. So far we have traveled 2,850 miles.

Days 118-121. May 17-20

 I’m slow in blogging as not much happened the last couple of days on our trip. We left Norfolk on the 17th to Whitestone Va. We stayed at windmill point. We had a dock car so we did errands to Ace hardware grocery and  of course Walmart.  Got to know the marina mgr. Tony.  It was a very cool night at his tiki bar.  Left on the 19rh  to Solomons Island Maryland.  Quaint stop with a few shops and of course restaurants and bars!   We biked to eat at the Pier and the Lighthouse and both were phenomenal and also La Vita. We went for a ride in the zodiac to explore and of course I got in the water at 70 degrees We are leaving in the morning to St Michaels.  Excited as I have heard great things about it.  It is a short distance.  We are stalling  time  to be in Annapolis for the graduation and the Blue Angels on the 22-23.
